Ingredients
1 prepared rotisserie chicken
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
1 cup carrots, sliced or chopped
6 ounces soup noodles
1/4 cup frozen peas
Instructions
- Remove meat from the rotisserie chicken and chop 2–3 cups for the soup. Reserve remaining meat for another use and keep the carcass.
- Bring chicken broth to a boil in a large pot. Add the carcass and simmer for 15 minutes to enrich the broth. Remove bones and any loose bits.
- Add chopped onion, celery, and carrots. Simmer for about 10 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the chopped chicken and noodles. Simmer until noodles are al dente, about 9 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, add frozen peas, and let them warm through.
- Ladle into bowls and serve immediately.
Notes
Add fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for brightness.
A squeeze of lemon adds freshness; chili flakes add heat.
Use any small pasta shape you have on hand.
Add a splash of half-and-half for a creamier finish.
Store noodles separately if making ahead to prevent them from softening.
